Switching sides

Strokes

Oğuz Aydemir Asked 11 years ago

I can't switch the sides of the blade in game (forehand-backhand or backhand-forehand)

Hi Oguz,

This is something that you can practice in training. Try to stay quite sure on to the table so that it makes it easier. Watch the ball carefully so that you give yourself more time to react to which side the ball is coming to.

Do a lot of switching drills. Look at the drills we show you in our Training Drills free download.

We also have a lesson in our Master Classes on Switching between BH & FH.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
